lol, dude that's how New England Patriots felt about everyone's trade offers Like you said, everyone gets wild trade offers, you eventually counter it till it becomes equal, or maybe someone else said that.

It's not a worry I'm just warning you guys not to think this guy is dumb as he's probably gonna vet every trade through me anyway.

Dude, he offer me the ****tiest offer ever.

OJ Mayo and Gordon for Lawson and Thornton.

Why the f*ck would I drop 20 point per game scorers who can get 4-5 assist per game for two undersized guards who produced below Raymond Felton's level? Marcus Thorton??? Alan Anderson equals Thorton's production who's stuck in Sacramento battling the SG role over a bunch of wing and combo guards. I picked up Anderson from waivers by the way, so why would I drop Gordon who I gave up a lot to get for a scrub like Thornton?

That's straight up bias from you. and in my counter offer, I offered TIM DUNCAN, who's been a top 5 fantasy player all year.

considering all the crap trade offers I've received on a weekly basis and it happens to everyone
He gotta get comfortable lol

Yeah fair enough, I know what you mean. I guess I kinda thought some of you guys were trying to take advantage of him as a newbie to the league.

As for the trade, I'd be keen I just have a feeling it'd be tough to match things up between us. I've had like 20 trades ready to propose to you (no sexual pun intended) and not bothered because I didn't think you'd be willing.

Props - Fantasy Lessons Learned

props to Beefy Helmets and Gangnam for snatching up Jimmy Butler and John Henson respectively.

let that be a lesson to all who use up 4 allowable moves within a week, days before the week ends. like me. over and over.

another lesson i've painfully learned: don't give up on players because they've had a bad couple games, or you want to fill their space with someone who's playing.

I gave up on Larry Sanders after owning him for a few days, right before he turned superstar. I just waived Alan Anderson because of a couple bad games (not knowing he was popped in the mouth), as well as dropping Isiah Thomas, Elton Brand, and now-doing-well Tyler Zeller, who i had a feeling about.

Another lesson learned. don't trade the best players in the league. I started off with Lebron and Rondo, and I now own one of the most mediocre teams in the league.

Hopefully i will learn my lessons next year.

also, props to Faghardo Coq-heads who did not bend over for Beef Helmets this week, and are about to deliver the first loss to the only undefeated squad in KO Fantasy.

and props to Gangnam Style, he's got my number this year (2 devastating losses), and now owns the #1 fantasy player in the league.

Using all your adds early isn't too bad, as long as you're using them for a purpose. But when you see that the week is out of reach there's no reason to keep plowing on adding players for that week.

I think most of us have made the same mistake anyway, I've had Brand on my team for a few days too and felt the need to drop him and a few days later he was going HAM for Gangnam.

Also I don't think your Monroe for Rondo trade was a bad idea, Monroe had a lot of hype this year and in this league where high scoring and rebounding bigs are the best players, he could have been an absolute monster. Just a shame he plays for a coach who doesn't know his arse from his elbow.

Yeah I took my first L this week and I'll be taking another next week. I was well aware this would happen when I traded for Love so good job by Coquis and Gangnam setting themselves up to take advantage of that. Could have still scraped a win this week if my dudes didn't choke a bit but it was bound to happen some time.

In other news, shockingly Soupastars turned down a crazy deal from my man Blob City. I can't believe he turned that trade down, it's rare anyone offers you a deal which is pretty much a no brainer. As evidenced by the haste at which I accepted metro's offer of Vasquez for Asik, had to jump on that one before his fever went away

In all seriousness, that was a tough deal to bite on but it was too tempting. Asik has crazy potential in this league as a rebounder, and it's a bit tough to buy Vasquez being this good all season, but the deal made too much sense to pass up.

I'm still waiting on someone to make any kind of serious offer for any of the dudes I put on the trading block, I've been shopping them around a bit but getting no kind of interest?

Lastly my dude wants me to re-iterate that he is dead set on trading Derrick Rose as it's possibly his only route into the playoffs. I have held off on making any offers to him as I want you guys to get first refusal being that he's a buddy of mine, and I can deal with him at any time. But if everyone wants to keep sleeping on these offers then I'm not gonna hold off much longer. I'm ready to tank a few weeks and have Derrick Rose and Andrew Bynum come back and average 40 points each

I traded Vasquez because I have a lot of PG's and I was in need of another big guy....but, Vasquez will be missed just because he gave me a lot of assist, average 14 ppg and over 4 rebs...plus, the Hornets dont have a back up PG, so Vasquez is guarantee to get 35 + minutes
